Trump declares official recognition of only two genders

I understand Mr Rudd, Ambassador Rudd, did have an opportunity to chat to the then President-Elect and he was honoured to attend the inauguration with me today and also to attend the various events associated with the inauguration,

Ms Wong said

I think you are working very hard to ask me to comment on a domestic policy announcement the President made just a few hours ago,

Ms Wong replied

That from this day forth there will be two genders in America, male and female" - what did you make of that,

One of the interesting things he also said ... Barr asked Wong

As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,

Trump said during his inaugural address Monday, taking an early step to fulfill one of his culture war campaign promises

The Social Security Administration’s Equity Action Plan includes a commitment to decrease administrative burdens and ensure people who identify as gender diverse or transgender have options in the Social Security number card application process,

said Kilolo Kijakazi, the administration’s acting commissioner at the time

We promote the freedom, dignity, and equality of all people – including LGBTQI+ individuals,

the department’s website says

Agencies are no longer going to promote gender ideology through communication forms and other messages,

the official said

I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life,

Trump said in his inauguration speech, calling the new moves a "revolution of common sense."

The Department of Treasury -- this is a little while ago now -- included diversity training that said all white people, regardless of how woke they are, contribute to racism. So this type of funding, we're going to end at these (diversity) programs. We're going to end that,

the official said

No longer will the federal government be promoting gender ideology,

the official said

This includes environmental justice programs, equity related grants, equity action plans, equity initiatives, these types of things,

the Trump official said

These are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,

they said

I can't believe this is really happening. I fought against the gender insanity for years. I got doxxed, received hundreds of death threats, and dozens of hit pieces written about me over it. It's time to end the gender pseudoscience nonsense once and for all. The future is bright!"

Chaya Raichik, the activist behind LibsOfTikTok, marveled at his statement as a "Massive win for America" and wrote in another post

The radical woke gender ideology is DEAD,

With a stroke of my pen on Day 1, we're going to stop the transgender lunacy

We finally have a true CHAMPION for women in the White House
